Toughest school to get into debate (Cal Tech vs. Harvard)

[thedarknight]

A kid I know claims that Cal Tech is hardest to get into than at Harvard with a 1% (!) acceptance rate and that Harvard is not even in the top 5 of toughest schools to get into. The source of his information is from one kid he knows who goes to Cal Tech, however, he also presents an argument that Cal Tech has less spots and less applications. I think the applicant pool for Cal Tech is probably "better".

Regardless, I think neither of these schools are the toughest. West Point or Juliard has the most stringent requirements.
